All of the Huntingdon Fillies loses were to teams that are going to the glass house. Plus we beat Dresden twice and Riverside who are also going. How's that for luck!

What are thoughts on how Westview will look next year with three starters one of being Jada? 

Westview will be a great shooting team. Simpson will be back and she can shoot plus #20 who I'm very high on. She's a player. If Haskins can come up with an inside presence they will be very good.

Great game between the Chargers and Pioneers last night. I don't care who GC put on Jada she was going to the basket. She played with such confidence. Having a strong, confident point is so important to a great team. GC played great and challenged Westview to the end, but if I counted right the Chargers hit 11 of 12 free throws down the stretch to close the deal. I expect both teams to advance in the sectionals and would not be surprised see them play for it all!

What you said was that Cantrell only had a great game cause Kee was WRONGFULLY taken out of the game. I understand you not liking that Kee was in foul trouble. I didn't like that #14 held Hart's jersey all night. But - you can be upset with calls (or lack of) against your team without taking away from the play of an opposing player. If you wanna talk about a player being taken out of the game, you might want to remember that one of our best was taken out by clear fouls not being called on her defender. Pull for your team without disrespecting the other. 

All I said was she wouldn't have driven the lane like she did if Kee had been in the game. Cantrell is a money player. Plays above her abilities, very high basketball IQ. With that being said GC gets by with more slapping and grabbing that any team in West Tennessee. Coach Wilkins is a master at working the refs. We have way to many refs that have never played the game. They know the rules but don't understand the game.

Respectfully disagree with that.  Kee is a great player but she can't guard every person on the floor.  Cantrell is good at making last second looks in the drive too. So if Kee would've picked her up, she would've gotten the ball to someone else last second. And from what I've seen their post #14 rarely leaves from under the goal or shoots from outside so she would've been there.  No secret that I'm not the biggest fan of wilkins either.  Just calling it how I see it. 

I think what I'm trying to say is a ref has the power to completely alter a game with some early tacky fouls. They shouldn't have that power. We need to go to 6 fouls or find some other way to penalize rather than taking a teams best player off the floor. There's nothing fair about it!

That was a good game. Didn't think GC was gonna pull it out at first. Cantrell was shining bright tonight tho while Hdon held Hart with some good defense. Refs weren't so great but unfortunately I've seen worse this season. GC and WV should be a fun game to watch Wed!

 

Cantrell had a great game because the refs took our post out of the game in the 1st qt. Those drives would have never happened if Ms Kee had been on the court. I hate refs, some teams they take care of and we ain't one of them!

Yes! Two big intense games at UTM tonight both decided at the very end by one point!!

If both losing teams had made their free throws down the stretch they would have won!

Can coach Wilkins get his Gibson Co team up and ready to play a very talented Huntingdon team that he has beat 3 times this season and keep his his teams mind off an anticipated rematch with Westview Wednesday night! Gonna be a tough coaching job. Fillies are right where they want to be even after losses to Westview and Gibson Co. Should be a great game!

McKenzie and Westview are 2 of the best 3-point shooting teams that I have ever witnessed. You just watch them and shake your head. They shoot with so much confidence.

Go Pioneers!

Think most Fillie fans respect and support the Lady Rebels. But McKenzie gonna be Mckenzie!

Yep. Wilkins had a good plan. Just looked it up. Last year Alcoa had 32 points and York had 37 at state against Westview. Tells you for them to get beat you have to have a great offensive plan as well and hit some shots. 

Gibson Co scored 75 against Huntingdon, 33 against Westview. Westview had a hand in the Gibson Co's shooters faces all night. No uncontested 3's. Chargers said let them drive which they did with little success. If the Fillies can contest against the 3 against Westview they've got a shot. Let them drive, we've got a couple 6'2" gals in the paint waiting on them!

Appreciate it. We made some big shots. Both teams had multiple TO’s and got after each other. Huntingdon is really good. Probably best post duo in the state. See y’all got a MO team coming up in Bartlett. They supposed to be pretty good???

First time I've seen that crew of officials. Hope I never see them again. Hard to believe a crew that inept was assigned to call a game this important!

I agree their strength is their pressure and it is hard for them to sustain it for 4 quarters right now. They did not have a deep bench to begin the season before all the injuries.

Huntingdon's pressure in the last match-up gave McKenzie a lot of trouble. Their depth situation really showed up in the 4th quarter. Fillies dominated the 4th. Lady Rebels had their hands on their hips.

I have no doubt you are correct. However we were talking boys basketball. Nice try though. 

Girls basketball is the 2nd most popular sport behind football in rural West Tennessee. Girls can play the game!

How do you see the Stanks matching up with Milan in bball?  Being that we are in the same district and all. 

Fillies will beat you by 40!

South Fulton is going to be a handful in that District. They have beaten Dyersburg and USJ the last two nights. I think South Fulton will make it to state.

South Fulton is very well coached and fun to watch.

McKenzie will be fine when Savannah gets back. I got a feeling they will have to play more zone down the road especially if they run into a post like Huntington’s duo or even one like Wayne County has. McKenzie will be fine. They are banged up but still played hard last night against a really good team.

McKenzie won by 24 the first time these two met. I've seen McKenzie play a lot the last couple years and this was by far the best I've seen them play. I thought the Fillies played well but still got blown out. Shame the Lady Rebels were not at full strength for this encounter. They are having to play kids that are not ready to play tough competition. This was a great win for the Fillies but if Ms Davis had been there it would it would have been a tall task.

Huntingdon with a dominant performance over McKenzie tonight. Their two post players are going to be hard for any team to handle. Coach David Wilkins has done a great job with these girls. They are a team to be reckoned with. McKenzie will be OK. They are so banged up I commend them for their heart. Reynolds not 100% from the injury against Gibson County the other night. 

Fillies have worked their way into the conversation. Girls are averaging well over 70 pts a game. Very quick team that will turn you over. Our inside game has really improved. Lot of quality depth at guard. Can't wait to play Westview and Gibson Co to see how good we are.

Westview played against one of the top Sophomore post players in the country on Saturday night in Mercy's Leah Macy. Leah has offers from several P5 programs including Tennessee, Vandy, Louisville, Belmont, North Carolina. She had a good game, 16 points. Mercy is also one of the top teams in Kentucky and has 4 D1 prospects on the team. Westview will not see a team in AA that is better, or anywhere close, than what they went up against this weekend. Just my personal opinion, it will take an off night by Westview and another teams best night for anyone in AA to beat them this year. With that being said, GP, Alcoa, York are the only ones with a chance.

Westview will have its hands full winning the district. Gibson Co and Huntingdon are both pretty good teams.

Naw the Mustangs have played this tough of a schedule the last 2 years. No significant injuries. You get hurt playing cupcakes!

Huntingdon is a football school. Camden is a basketball school. Fillies beat tha Lady Lions 71-29. Could have scored a 100!

Westview #1 by a mile if they stay healthy. Gibson County losing Micah Hart is going to hurt. She was very, very good. That leads me back to Westview, right now, all is good. But afraid Westview is going to see just how much they miss Angelina Barr down the stretch and in the playoffs. She never got the press she deserved on that team. WV is still star studded, no doubt about that. If they stay healthy, the title is theirs to lose. 

Westview for sure is the favorite. Gibson Co beating South Gibson tells me you better not take them lightly. Huntingdon's Fillies are 7-1 and are averaging  over 70 pts. a game. Fillies have some size and depth and are playing pretty good right now.

Wayne County has a PG with multiple NAIA offers and a 6’1 sophomore (?) with multiple D1 offers. They can play

Point is a good player. The young post I'm very impressed with. She has guard skills. But McKenzie with Davis is one of the best class A teams I've ever seen. They have 3 difference makers on that team. Wayne Co is good but they can't run with Mckenzie.

I was not expecting #23 to play like she did. She's a gamer and is good as well. Mckenzie has the talent and support to win 1A again. IMO

Rumor I'm hearing is Ms Davis has a finger injury and will miss extended time. If so it's a shame, she really knows how to play the game. McKenzie will certainly miss her.
